What we do

Because We Can is a Design-Build Studio that specializes in Sustainable Interior Design & Custom Furniture.
We are designers with an in-house shop.

Because We Can, LLC is lead by a husband & wife team: Jeffrey McGrew and Jillian Northrup. We are a small crew of people with multi-disiplinary backgrounds including architecture, design, photography, construction, computer programing and fashion.

Using only Sustainable or Eco Friendly products, our goal is to make the world a more interesting, productive, sustainable, and overall better place.

Every member of our team spends time on all aspects of a single project from concept designs to CAD drawings to fabrication. One designer remains phisically involved with the project from begining to completion. We do not have a single shop forman, a single designer and a single CAD expert. Instead we all touch all aspects of the design production. Not only does this greatly increase design to fabrication speed with complex projects, it also decreases mistakes that are commonly made with a more tradition work flow.

We do a lot of interior design and creative build-outs, custom furniture designs, whole creative environments, various CNC fabrication and prototyping services, and we're just getting into designing and building whole ground-up buildings.

We've also designed a line of premium and sustainable products you can see on our on-line store

We make everything here in Oakland, CA.
